According to the Persons with Disabilities Act, 1995, and the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act (RPWD), 2016,1 mental illness is recognized as a disability. In India, most employment programs for persons with disabilities (PwD) focus on locomotor, visual, and hearing disabilities.2,3 For the first time, the RPWD Act 2016 offered government job reservations for persons with benchmark disability because of mental illness. The Mental Health Care Act 2017 (MHCA)4 mandates the government to provide “hospital and community-based rehabilitation establishments and services” for persons with mental illness (PWMI). Currently, rehabilitation services are in infancy and do not exist in many tertiary care hospitals.5 Most rehabilitation facilities are residential.5 Many rehabilitation facilities are run by the nongovernmental organizations sector and are located in South India.5 The family needs to pay a fee to avail services.5 Because of lack of availability, accessibility, and affordability, rehabilitation facilities are out of reach of families of PWMI.5
